What photos are you referring to?

I'd like to know too.

The only production photo of this piece I'm aware of is this blurry factory photo they posted months ago.

I would also like to see the picture though I suspect he is talking about the one posted above which actualy looks good but is still not of a high enough quality to go by.

Yep, this is exactly the one I'm talking about. Regardless of the photographic quality, the statue appears to have lost a lot of detail compared to the original renders. And the paint is uninspiring. I'm just not seeing a $550 statue here.

I'll reserve judgment until I see more.

I've seen many examples where pictures don't do a piece justice compared to when it's actually in hand.

Yup, plus, that image quality is so poor and not even in focus.

Regardless of the quality of the image how do those production statues look any different from the prototype?

I see nothing that "Looks quite far off the original renders in terms of sculptural detail, and I'm not convinced by the paint."

Not arguing just genuinely trying to understand.

You see nothing - and I see everything. What else is there to understand? It's called having an opinion - and I'm entitled to mine.
